Navy aims to be second to none by 1925 says Badger
Washington December 12 Rear Admiral Charles J Badger told the House Naval Affairs Committee the general board seeks to elevate the American navy to be equal with the world’s strongest by 1925 and urged proper appropriations to achieve this. He cited continued gradual increases under world conditions and the need to protect both the nation and its merchant marine while supporting a league of nations. The plan includes completing a three year building program begun in 1916, though work on several units has not yet started and would have been essential to deter a German victory if war had continued.
